One of the interesting contrasts we found was between teenaged and elderly drivers. According to the AAA Foundation of Traffic Safety’s 2014-2015 American Driving Survey, drivers aged 16-17 crashed their vehicles more than any of the other age groups. When it comes to fatal crashes, however, the same group is tied with drivers aged 80 and above. Both groups ranked higher than others in that category, as well.
Recent traffic accident data from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s (DOT) National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) noted a small decrease in American roadside deaths in 2017 (37,133) compared with 2016 (37,461). This number has been steadily increasing since 2013 before its recent drop. The U.S. Secretary of Transportation Elaine L. Chao recognized this downward trend, but also expressed that there’s still work to be done to decrease roadside deaths significantly. Here’s what we can learn from recent accident data.
Your standard Safeco Car Insurance policy provides essential liability protection and other coverages required by law. It includes coverage if your car is involved in an accident while being driven by you or someone else. To enhance your policy with extra protection for damage, emergencies, repairs, and personal property, you can choose additional coverage options. Your local independent agent can offer personal advice about product availability in your area and how much coverage is right for you.

To get this coverage, purchase a Collision Damage Waiver from the rental car company, or rent the vehicle through our Alliance Services Company rental providers. (Our Alliance Services Company rental providers waive the above fees provided you reserve the vehicle at a participating Avis, Hertz, Budget or Enterprise location and use the appropriate discount code in the rental agreement.)

When you’re constantly shifting the conditions of your motorcycle insurance policy, there’s a risk that your bike won’t have proper coverage at the appropriate times. Set reminders for yourself on the type of coverage your motorcycle has at any given moment. Make sure coverage is added back on before you take it out for a spin. Otherwise, you’re leaving yourself vulnerable to large deductibles and other risks when you’re operating an uninsured vehicle.

When comparing car insurance quotes, it helps to compare apples to apples; in other words, you want to be sure that the quotes you get are for identical - or at least very similar - auto insurance policies.

For serious accidents, you want enough insurance to cover a judgment against you in a lawsuit without jeopardizing your personal assets. Therefore, it's a good idea to have the same level of bodily injury coverage for all your cars.
